Thoughts on a separate android profile used for google things?
Banking apps and government ID apps wont work without google services. As much as I hate that they are necessary, they just are - for most if us mortals at least.
How to Make Your Android Phone Invisible to Google
Your Android phone is a snitch.
Out of the box, it bleeds data. Location history. Voice recordings. App usage. Advertising IDs. MAC addresses. Sensor telemetry. Google doesn’t need to hack your phone, it was built to hand your data over.
Even if you turn off everything they let you turn off, it still talks.
Quietly. Constantly. Back to the mothership.
But you can shut it up.
Not perfectly. But enough to claw back control.
Here’s how to make your Android phone invisible to Google, or damn near close.

100% this is a good tool for those who just want to create some distance between their data points and the collection machine, which is most people.
Have several: banking and bill pay, crypto, research, personal communications, etc. Compartmentalization is just good cyber hygiene.
Agree. I've been unsure whether the isolated android profile with google services and logged into google "destroyed" the privacy for the other android profiles. Sounds like u think this is fine?
I guess one could avoid logging into google and using Aurora but with google services installed might work thus avoiding the log in?
I have an aurora profile for google apps that work without google services and a full on google profile where I just gave up.
Obviously all this is on a graphene pixel phone.
On graphene the profiles are completely sand boxed. You can have your normie profile with Gmail, banking app, and LinkedIn, then have your dissident profile
